Description

We need to place pressure on the assault camp at Sethria's Roost. Ragnaros' minions are using this area as a point to push their battlefront beyond the bounds of Hyjal. I'm putting you in charge of a small squad to deal with them.

I have selected an elite group of fighters to assist you. Travel to Sethria's Roost. Your compatriots have been instructed to meet you once you arrive. Then put an end to the elementals' assault.

Completion

A job well done, soldier. While our mission in the Firelands is critical, we must not forget about the well-being of Hyjal.

Speak with my brother again tomorrow, and he will have another squad prepared for you.

Rewards

You will receive:

• 20 67
• 2  [Mark of the World Tree]
• 86750 XP
• 350 reputation with Guardians of Hyjal

Notes

• You do not need to obtain the first hit on any of the mobs. So long as you do damage, you get credit for the kill, so it is wise to help others in the area to make this quest go faster.
• The Fiery Behemoths have a knockback ability, so be sure not to stand on the edge of the cliff.
• The Seething Pyrelords summon adds. They can largely be ignored, as your druid allies will heal you. When casting their reflective shield, they can be silenced.
• There are three achievements that should be worked on while on this quest:
  •  Gang War
  •  Have... Have We Met? (not required to be on the quest, but look at others' NPCs when they are on the quest!)
  •  The Fiery Lords of Sethria's Roost

Patch changes

• Patch 4.2.0 (2011-06-28): Added.
